Widescreen Gaming Forum

Thanks for your reply! Here's some more details:

I already have 3 projectors from another project that I would like to use for this. So I would only need 2 more. That opens up more of the budget for other hardware/software. The projectors I have right now were about $3k each, so they are decent ...

Thanks for the love :)

For the games that support it, the 'widescreen hack' coupled with the 'Aspect Ratio=Window Size' renders it in the full width of the screen, 24:9 format. Since Wii games natively only support up 16:9, it is a 50% increase in "viewable space". The AR of this setup is ...

How about some videos then?

(Selling it is really an empty threat. I have no real interest in doing so. I love it. But if somebody is really willing to fork over 20K, well then, alright...I guess...)

I have done exactly as Brad shows, albeit with 4 units... I have made a 4x2 screen array (2x2 eyefinity group) and can confirm that these units work very well under Eyefinity.

I wanted to call some attention to another notable difference between this and a DH2G...the signal power. Just as Brad ...

Suh-WEET! Mr. Hawthorne, you have just made my day month. I can finally span my whole 8 cubes and turn back on tri-fire!! Off to order 4 of them right now...
:cheers

Sweet. Fingers crossed!

I have seen (more than once) an OEM take a reference design and manage to drag it at least slightly out of spec with a firmware implementation or the like...
But the fact that you tested it on the Sapphire is sad news. I have had hit-or-miss flakiness with dp adapters and cables though...do you ...

Hmm...I was just getting ready to pull the trigger on these...but I have e6s...Brad, what brand are yours? I have Sapphire. I am surprised they don't work, didn't Duniek get one working on a lowly 5450?

Haha, that's an impressive build. And I'm usually not a fan of even numbered lines, with the ultra thin bezel I think it works well. FPS games oughtta put the crosshair right at the center, right? :P

This is something I think I'd have to see in person.
Yeah, my crosshairs are just a few ...

i950 @ 4.07 Ghz
6GB Muskin @ 1715 mhz
120GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD on SATA 6Gbs
ASUS P6X58D-E Motherboard
3x Sapphire HD5870 2GB e6 Edition
Dell 1KW PSU+Thermaltake 250w PCIe PSU

Piss-poor open-air cooling (no case) because I haven't gotten $$ to buy my Silverstone Raven yet. Only reason ...

1600x1200 per cube, 4x2 cubes, so 6400w x 2400h = 15.36 Megapixels.
No bezel compensation, it is done physically (The units have motors to adjust LCD alignment, 2-4 pixels are projected behind the mullions of the screens.)

Obscure surplus sales for the win! If you read the lengthy blog post it will go over how much it cost and the whole ordeal. A lot of work, yes, but well worth it.

Unfortunately, due to lack of adapters and DH2Go's, I still can't tell you how tri-fire runs on a 3x2....I am forced to currently ...

Thanks guys. Overkill? Probably. My wife agrees. Due to lack of active adapters (I have only 2) I have to use all 3 cards separately, an eyefinity group of 2 on 2 different cards, and a group of the 4 middle ones on the 3rd card. After i get another $50 for 2 more active adapters, I will get 6 ...

Those pics are 1024x768, so you can click/ctrl-click on them to get that size, but for some reason the forum software wouldn't display more than 240-300 pixels in height, but happily stretched them to whatever width value I entered...
go HERE to see those pics (and a few more) in all 7MP glory ...

Hi All:

I read a lot, but rarely post. I just wanted to share my ultimate creation. I feel like this is how eyefinity should be done. Hope it's in the right forum, as it is projection, albeit rear projection.
I had to promise my wife I would never bring home a bigger screen and mean it this ...

Well, I don't need it checked anymore; it won't work. Evidently no adapters can push quite as much bandwidth as the RAMDACs on the cards base ports they were designed to run off of. It won't fly. Dammit.

Now it look like I have to get 4x Displayport editions for ~$900 just to run the extra 2 ...

I will read about that, I hadn't heard DP edition had DVI signalling. That would save $150 on adapters for option 2, but would still be $900...not very good.

But you are killing me with this option 1 digital edition...you keep listing 'active DP to DL' for the DE...that is true for Triplehead ...

Yeah, eyefinity with DP to VGA adpters, but at 3200x1200 resolution? That is 4 megapixels to stuff through that adapter, that's why I need it checked. Have you done that high of reloution through single DP to VGA adapter? It works through real VGA port, but nobody can tell me if it's possible ...

Duniek: I'd love to see that. I know you had (have?) an e6 5870...do you have an active VGA adapter, and could test 2xUXGA@60hz and see if it works on the adapter via DH2G or TH2G? That is the last problem in my quest before I can buy...I read of some people having flickering issues running WUXGA on ...

Thanks for your replies, guys.

@StickyGreen: The 'Analog' version of the DH2G only supports SXGA per screen, not UXGA. So, I will be using either the Digital or DP versions, which both support UXGA. Ironically, the INPUT to the 'Digital' version is still analog VGA, even though the outputs are ...
